Laudrup admits Swansea need to find scoring support for Michu

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup admits he needs to find goalscoring support for Michu next season.

Swansea City boss Michael Laudrup admits he needs to find goalscoring support for Michu next season.

While the Spaniard has primarily been used as a striker due to his goalscoring record, he prefers to play as an attacking midfielder.

"Michu has done way beyond what any of us could ask of him," said Laudrup. "He has scored 17 league goals and over 20 in all competitions.

"It is true in the last four or five games he has had chances he would have scored earlier in the season, but when you are talking about players like that there will be moments they just touch the ball and it will go in, other times it won’t.

"But he is always there when there is a chance. Against Norwich he had two or three chances and against Tottenham as well. Maybe he is not scoring now as he did before, but that is because it was way above what we could ask from him.

"He is our goalscorer but we cannot put everything on his shoulders, everyone has to score. But when there is a chance you can count on him to be there."
